    I recall seeing numerous cases of 762x39 at $200-220 at the last Chantilly gun show.

    Don't get me wrong- 300AAC looks like a promising round and I'd love to have one but you need massive economies of scale to make a round affordable to shoot. 762x39, 9mm, 5.56, 22LR, etc. It's a bit of a chicken vs egg paradox

    Neat site. Basically it is telling me that 223 or 5.56mm I would buy begins at 31 cents a round. It also has 300 Whisper(R):

    Not non-corrosive brass cased.

Both of these are higher than what Remington claims - but we wanted to publish a spec that was conservative and was easily made by the shipping product.

    7.62x39mm, averaging some data I saw posted around the interweb, is about 2250 fps from a 16 inch barrel. I know the spec for 7.62x39 is supposed to be faster than that, but it seems to be loaded mildly in practice.

    Instead of fighting over who can find the cheapest 7.62x39, why don't we concentrate on the 300AAC. Sounds like a great cartridge. Now if we can just find some affordable ammo, maybe some MFG's will start to produce some uppers (BCM).

    Yugo Milsurp M67. $3.29/15rds.

    I really love the idea of the 300BLK and will be building an upper in it....someday.....

    To me the attraction is also a simple barrel replacement.
    Same bolt, same mags without loss of capacity.

    The down side is the ammo price.
    But, for me it's something I would use with a short barrel in a HD scenario. I wouldn't be shooting paper with it on a regular basis.
